AT&T was among several U.S. broadband providers whose networks were reportedly breached by the Chinese-linked "Salt Typhoon" cyberespionage operation. This sophisticated attack potentially accessed information from systems used by the federal government for court-authorized wiretapping requests. The incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity threats to critical telecommunications infrastructure.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Verizon Communications and Lumen Technologies were also among the telecoms whose networks were compromised. This development raises concerns about the security of sensitive data and national security implications within the U.S. telecom sector. AT&T did not immediately respond to requests for comment at the time of the report.
